Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The facility on the reserve in Hay River is a government-owned facility and, through the department, was built and the organization on the reserve runs the program on behalf of the Government of the Northwest Territories. I might point out that the changes that did occur, as the Member mentioned on the per diem rating, did happen at that facility as well. They have managed to sustain themselves throughout. There is still, I believe, a 50 percent core funding that was provided to the facilities and is maintained at that level. I am aware, as well, on the NAS facility, that a mortgage is held by the group out of the NAS board. As well, in that agreement, they did receive some assistance through the Housing Corporation on a 2 percent write-down, I believe.
